Sometime last year, a fan put a flyer on my FB profile with the banner that stated Vince Gill was doing a guitar competition. I have never done a musical competition in my life so I was a bit nervous, but I entered. I ended up having all of my fans vote, and they got me into the finals. I was 1 of 5 finalists who got to go to Los Angeles in September and go play some guitar with Vince Gill. I picked the song, 'Pretty Little Adriana' and had a blast doing it.

He was such a sweet person. I didn't end up winning, but I feel like a winner inside. So many good things on the way!!

So here I am in Austin, Texas. I had an amazing time for the past 5 or 6 days. As you know, this is one of my favorite places in the world. Although I don't know the terrain all that well, I don't own a car here, or anything of that nature, I still find such peace and welcoming when I am here.

The moment I got into Nashville in February, doors began to open up for me almost too fast to be present for it all.

I was visiting my friend from SHURE Microphones, and all of a sudden, a guy, Danny Rowe walked in. He just so happened to be picking up some microphones for the TV show to place as props, and of course, was using SHURE. He told me he does all of the props, etc, and asked if I wanted to come see the filming of the show.

I have traveled all around the world. I have been to many, many of the States in the US, and it is an unusual find when I feel so comfortable and at home in a new place. I fell in love with Austin, Texas.

Well, for the holiday season, I wanted to give myself a Christmas present of a new website. I was inwardly complaining quite a bit (something I don't like to do) because of my website, so..I finally upgraded.
